96 GMC PU with ABS. When slowing down to stop, front end shakes like the old Shimmy. No brake or ABS warning lights, tire pressures equal and front end tight. Can this be warped disc? Have not had any other braking problems, wheel removals or changing of tires that may have caused uneven tightning of lugs.

Sorry - clicked wrong forum
Very little pulsation in pedal - some in steering wheel.
Seems more like whole front end is shaking. Also, may be less noticable in very cold weather.
